Satoru Iwata the President and CEO of Nintendo has been awarded the number one spot on Next-Gen's top 25 people of 2007, Satoru Iwata has done a phenomenal job brining Nintendo back to the front of the pack in the video game industry, with the current runaway success of both the Nintendo DS and the Nintendo Wii, and who wouldn’t be impressed with this man achievements, this is a acknowledgement that is well deserved.
The Next-Gen's top 25 people of 2007 list is based on both nominations from the public and internal research to determine who are the top 25 people that have contributed a positive, resounding contribution to the gaming industry, and if a certain individual was on last years list and want to make this years cut, this years contribution to the gaming industry must be greater than the last.
Another positive Nintendo note is Yoshiaki Koizumi the Director for Super Mario Galaxy grabbed the number six spot on that list for brining the Wiis first true Mario game to life and making it a instant success, which in it’s self has won it’s fair share of awards.
